After a simple dinner, Su An lay down to rest again.
Gu Jingchen didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. Su An just kept her back to him the whole night. Her heart was in a mess and she was mentally exhausted. She didn't know when she fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already bright outside the window.
She listened carefully for a while and found that there was no sound in the room. Then she sat up carefully and looked up. Gu Jingchen was not in the room.
Su An heaved a sigh of relief for some reason, his mind filled with the chaotic and complicated dream from last night.
In her dream, she seemed to have returned to the "Gu family" in her past life.
Qiu Shuya was the same as always, making all kinds of demands on her and teaching her how to be a "Mrs. Gu."
However, the unexpected thing is that the Gu Jingchen in her dream is not like he was back then, and he doesn't care about her at all.
Instead, he defended her, took care of her, and protected her everywhere.
It completely overlaps with his current appearance.
It's like the present Gu Jingchen traveled back to the past.
Su An was lost in thought, and after a while he realized that his mind was full of Gu Jingchen. He couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
She seemed to confuse the current Gu Jingchen with the one from the past.
But... no matter how old Gu Jingchen is now, it's impossible for them... to be together anymore.
Putting everything aside, she couldn't... feel sorry for the senior.
“Click—”
There was a sudden knock from the ward door.
Su An was distracted for a moment and looked over quickly, thinking that it was Gu Jingchen coming.
Unexpectedly, I saw a familiar figure.
"Sister Zixin..."
Su An looked at Lu Zixin standing at the door with some surprise, thinking that she would come.
"Miss Su."
Lu Zixin smiled, walked in, and sat down on the chair beside the bed.
Then he asked with concern, "How is your injury? Did you rest last night?"
"I'm fine now..."
Su An shook his head, looking at her friendly yet distant smile, and felt a little sad in his heart.
Lu Zixin's expression was also a little subtle. He stared at her for a moment, and after confirming that she was fine, he said softly, "I came to you, first, to apologize for what Ziying did to you, and second, to thank you for speaking up for her in front of Gu Jingchen yesterday."
Su An was stunned when he heard this, and his nose suddenly felt sore.
This was the first time a member of the Lu family spoke to her in such a friendly manner since Lu Ziting's accident.
At first, Lu's parents didn't want to see her again, and Lu Ziying hated her to the core.
Although Sister Zi Xin hadn't said a single harsh word to her, she no longer had the same warmth she had in the past, and was now silent.
She didn't resent any of this and knew that this was what she deserved.
But now...
Su An didn't want to cry in front of her, so she took a deep breath and shook her head, "Sister Zi Xin, this is what I should do. I owe you..."
"Su An."
Lu Zixin knew what she wanted to say and raised her hand to interrupt.
The address also changed from "Miss Su" just now to calling her name with some helplessness.
Sue fell silent, waiting for her to speak.
Lu Zixin didn't speak for a long time.
After a long silence, he continued, "Regarding what happened back then, I always hoped that both my parents and Ziying could slowly get over it, including you."
When Su An heard the last three words, he suddenly lost consciousness for a moment.
"No one wants an accident like that to happen. Although it was caused by you, I think... Zi Ting protected the one he loved most. Even at that moment before he left, he shouldn't have regretted it..."
Lu Zixin's eyes were a little red.
She wiped her eyes, suddenly looked at the bag in her hand, and opened the zipper.
"You've always said that you owed the Lu family, so let's just consider yesterday's incident as settled. Ziying isn't mature enough yet, so during this time, I'll accompany her abroad to recuperate. My husband will temporarily take over the family company, so you can rest assured and recuperate. She won't cause you any more trouble. And..."
Lu Zixin paused for a moment, then suddenly took out a palm-sized photo frame from her bag and placed it on the bedside cabinet.
Su An subconsciously glanced at it, and when he saw the content on it clearly, he was suddenly stunned.
It was a sketch of her.
And it looks like it did when I was in school.
Lu Zixin stood up, and it seemed that she had finished what she was about to say.
Finally, he said, "This painting was placed on the table by Ziting. It has been with me for the past year. Now, I'm giving it to you as a souvenir. From now on... you and our Lu family will owe each other nothing."
After Lu Zixin finished speaking, she took one last look at the photo frame on the table and turned to leave.
The door opened and she walked out, but her steps suddenly stopped.
By the door, Gu Jingchen had arrived at some point and was standing there.
Lu Zixin didn't say anything, just nodded at him, then turned and walked away.
Gu Jingchen watched her figure disappear before he pushed the door open and walked in.
He heard everything the two of them said just now.
Su An had already picked up the photo frame and held it in his hands, examining it carefully.
I heard the sound of someone entering the door, but didn't look up.
"An An."
Gu Jingchen put the breakfast on the table and looked at the portrait in her hand, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
Su An also came to his senses, and almost subconsciously put down the photo frame in his hand and placed it next to the pillow.
Then he looked at Gu Jingchen, not knowing what to say.
The awkwardness from yesterday continued, and it seemed like the time had come when I had to explain myself.
But...what to say?
And the mission that mysterious person left for her...
Although the two of them had had sex many times in the past period of time, she was still not sure that she could get pregnant smoothly.
If she didn't get pregnant, would she have to go through life with Gu Jingchen despite her current status as a mother?
Su An frowned suddenly, and his head felt as painful as if it were being pricked by needles.
Gu Jingchen thought she was feeling unwell and asked hurriedly, "An An, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Or are you hungry? Do you want to have some breakfast first? This is the chicken soup I made in the kitchen when I got home this morning. Can you drink some while it's hot?"
If other people saw this caring and nagging look, they would probably drop their jaws in shock!
Su An was also in a trance for a moment.
Although she didn't want to admit it, this time, she could really feel it. She was being held in Gu Jingchen's palm and was being cared for seriously.
but……
Su An sighed silently in his heart, said nothing, and took the chicken soup.
Seeing that she was willing to eat, Gu Jingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He helped her set the table, get the dishes and chopsticks, and personally served her a small bowl of soup. Finally, he put down the hand towel. He was simply the most perfect caregiver.
"Don't worry about this. I can do it myself."
Su An couldn't describe the feeling in her heart, and instinctively didn't want to be taken care of too much by him.
The next second——
Suddenly, his hand was gently held down.
